Comment:

 I think the main thing to consider here from a usability standpoint is
 that the amount of mouse movement required by the user to pre-select
 widgets, is equivalent to simply dragging them over individually. There's
 also the added downside of creating another interface element for the user
 to understand. The fewer decisions that the user has to make in order to
 use an interface, the better.[[BR]]

 From a UX standpoint, the two section of the admin interface are different
 enough that an identical workflow won't be expected. Keep in mind that the
 sidebar isn't even on the same side of the screen when it comes to
 comparing the widget and menu pages.
